Rajya Sabha member K Chiranjeevi on Wednesday made it clear that the Congress party would initiate serious action against those who indulged in corruption whether they are in party or in various position in the government.
Talking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan, Chiranjeevi said that the party would not spare anyone who indulged in corruption and take disciplinary action against them irrespective of their position. Citing the example of A Raja, he said that the UPA Government has sacked former Telecom Minister and he was arrested for his alleged involvement in 2G Spectrum scam.
Stating that former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy was found involved in corruption, he said that the party would not treat YSR and his son Jagan Mohan Reddy differently for their involvement in corruption. However, Chiranjeevi said that he would not make any comments against them as the probe was going on against them.
Responding to power tariff hike, he said that he had wrote a letter to Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy asking him to exempt the common man and farmers from the tariff hike. He hoped that the government would take steps to reduce additional burden on common man.
